Publication number: 20230398728Abstract: The present invention relates to roll-to-roll surface patterning by imprint method. A film of liquid phase resist is coated on a running web and subsequently brought into contact with a rolling replication tool with patterned features on its outer surface. In a simultaneous step, resist is 5 cured typically by heat or UV-light and patterned features on the rolling replication tool are replicated into the resist film during the contact with the replication tool. A major deficiency of conventional roll-to-roll imprinting is the generation of defects in the patterns due to trapped air. To overcome this limitation, the present invention describes a method and 10 apparatus to perform roll-to-roll imprinting under reduced-pressure or vacuum conditions.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2021Publication date: December 14, 2023Applicant: Teknologian tutkimuskeskus VTT OyInventors: Olli-Heikki HUTTUNEN, Jussi HILTUNEN, Jarno PETÄJÄ, Johanna HIITOLA-KEINÄNEN

Patent number: 9625717Abstract: The invention relates to optical devices comprising a transparent substrate and a first transparent grating layer on the substrate, the grating layer comprising periodically alternating zones having different refractive indices. According to the invention, the device comprises a second transparent grating layer located on top of the first grating layer and also comprising periodically alternating zones having different refractive indices so that the zones of the first grating layer having higher refractive index are at least partly aligned with the zones of the second grating layer having lower refractive index and vice versa, the second grating layer reducing the amount of light diffracted to non-zero transmission orders. The invention allows for reducing the so-called rainbow effect for example in head-up displays (HUDs).Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2013Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: DISPELIX OYInventors: Antti Sunnari, Olli-Heikki Huttunen, Juuso Olkkonen

Patent number: 6356769Abstract: A radio telephone arrangement comprises two or more card readers (10,11,13) for accommodating a corresponding number of memory cards (SIM1, SIM2, SIM3) e.g. in the form of subscriber identity modules (SIMs). The various.card readers may be designed to accept memory cards having different physical formats. The telephone is adapted to use the information from one of the memory cards (to the exclusion of the other memory cards) in accordance with a predetermined priority allocation. The prioritization may be re-set automatically if a card or card reader is removed or inserted. Preferably the user may also modify the priorities, e.g. by menu selection.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2000Date of Patent: March 12, 2002Assignee: Nokia Mobile Phones, Ltd.Inventors: Timo Ali Vehmas, Heikki Huttunen, Timothy John Frain

Patent number: 5448622Abstract: A cellular radio telephone (5) has two (or more) telephone numbers (TN1 . . . TNN), specifically for example an office telephone number and a private telephone number. In one mode of operation both numbers are operable concurrently. However, in a second mode one of the numbers may be disabled by the user, e.g. using a menu selection facility on a visual display (55). In the first mode, the telephone number of an incoming call is shown on the display (55) so that the user can know which number the call is intended for before answering it. Preferably one of the telephone numbers may be selectively enabled for outgoing calls, again by menu selection. As a consequence all of the other telephone numbers may be automatically disabled for outgoing calls in both modes of operation.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 1994Date of Patent: September 5, 1995Assignee: Nokia Mobile Phones Ltd.Inventor: Heikki Huttunen
